Not that I am aware. FWIW I've been on 16.09 (have been on the 16.09
channel within a week of it going live) and have not seen any X or Emacs
crashes. Still, you are probably on to something.

Well, could you provide some details? Going by the template in the
Nixpkgs issue tracker (if you click on "New issue"), here's what you can
report:

* System: (NixOS: `nixos-version`, Ubuntu/Fedora: `lsb_release -a`, ...)
* Nix version: (run `nix-env --version`)
* Nixpkgs version: (run `nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>' -A lib.nixpkgsVersion`)

I think it's worth opening a new issue on Nixpkgs instead of continuing
this on the list.

Best,
Linus
